Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 24, 2006 -- Award winning composer Aryavarta
Kumar (Arya) has completed writing and recording the score to Bill
Johns' first feature length film Madness (Cinevid Productions Ltd). This
independent film, created with talent from around northeast Ohio, is set
to be screened at a red carpet event on July 27, 2006 at the Tower City
Theaters in downtown Cleveland. Madness stars Jami Ross, Michael Rose,
Michelene Pancoe, Devan Lindsey, Laura Cool and Bernadette Lord.

Produced by Bill Johns and Andy Schofield, Madness centers around Alex,
a young man who's too old to still be at home, but too timid to go out
on his own. His parents have left on vacation and have told him to leave
before they return, something he reluctantly wants. Before leaving, he
plans on getting even. However, his step-sister returns home from
college unexpectedly with four of her girlfriends and they get stuck in
the house when a blizzard rolls in. As Alex's actions and plans are
discovered, the girls start dying one by one until it's just Alex and
his old crush, Megan.

Madness marks the second collaboration between Arya and writer/director
Bill Johns. They previously joined forces to orchestrate a song in Left
for Dead. Arya commented "Bill came to me and gave me quite a bit of
freedom to write the entire score and over a period of 6-8 weeks, we
were both happy with the final result." Johns noted "I always wanted to
give Arya a chance to score my projects, especially after having worked
with him on Left for Dead."

For more information on the film Madness, ticket information, and the
screening, please visit http://www.wheremadnesslies.com

Arya started his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in several
bands. Since that time, his use of orchestral music with elements of
ethnic and electronic instrumentation has made his music a distinctive
voice sought by film makers around the world. Showcasing his versatility
in writing music, Arya's work spans genres including action, drama,
comedy, ethnic, documentary, and many others. Arya is one of Cleveland's
most sought after composers for independent film. In 2005, he won a 26th
Silver Telly Award for his musical score to the short film, A Joker's
Card.
